Catastrophe Insurance

What is Catastrophe Insurance?

Catastrophe insurance is a legal term that is used for events that are completely outside of human control. This would include circumstances like natural disasters and sudden floods. They are essentially events that other people cannot be held responsible for. The term itself is not in reference to a specific god, just the fact that the events are not in human control. As a result, catastrophe insurance is created to cover the events and situations which are known to cause damage to property and are completely out of the control of the humans involved in the situation.

What Does Catastrophe Insurance Cover?

Homeowner’s insurance policies have an exclusion clause for damages caused by acts of God. It can typically include damages as a result of war, although some policies have thought it would be better to remove this element. Generally, it will cover the majority of acts of nature, such as hail, storms, high winds, and other related events that may be considered to be a natural disaster. If your property experiences damage as the result of something that you would believe to be an act of God, you are supposed to contact your insurer immediately to determine whether or not it would actually be covered. In example, if there is an ice storm that provides damage to your roof, your policy may be able to provide you with some coverage.
